Procedures for Developing Multi-Period Response Spectra at Non-Conterminous United States Sites (FEMA P-2078)

This resource details procedures for developing probabilistic multi-period response spectra (MPRS) for seismic hazard analysis at sites in non-contiguous U.S. regions. It outlines methods for selecting response spectrum shape parameters, determining response domains, and calculating MPRS using parameters such as SS, RS/1, and TL. The document provides guidance for deriving site-specific MPRS for maximum considered earthquake ground motions, in accordance with ASCE 7-16 requirements. It is intended for professionals involved in seismic design and analysis of buildings.
